Free Money Finance March Madness, Final Four
We're now down to the Final Four posts left in Free Money Finance March Madness (if you wonder what's going on in these posts, see my article announcing March Madness and/or click on my March Madness category link and scroll down to read all the posts involved in this subject.)
I've listed each "game" (one post versus another) in segments along with the wording provided by the author when the post was submitted. Be sure to comment which one you like the best out of each set of two as commenters have the chance to win a free book. Here we go:
GAME 1
- Ten Simple Ways to Cover Your Ass(ets) - Saving and investing are only part of the equation...You also have to protect the wealth that you've managed to amass, no matter how much or little that may be.
VERSUS
- Avoid 10 Common Debt Reduction Mistakes - If you've decided to get out of debt, that is awesome! But, be careful. Read this post so that you can avoid some common mistakes.
GAME 2
- Teaching Kids the Value of a Dollar - I like this one because it's a perfect example of how easy it is to use everyday occurrences to teach kids about money. And guess what? It works!
VERSUS
- The True Cost of Owning a Home - Not a true devil's advocate post, but certainly a biased look at home ownership and many of the costs that are ignored when someone says that buying a home is no brainer decision.
I'll leave voting up on these until noon Eastern time on Tuesday, March 27. Sometime on Tuesday afternoon, I'll announce the championship and allow voting to go on for a few days before announcing the champion.
Good luck to all!!!
